Microsoft Teams: Teams button support on multiple connected peripheral devices

You can now use the Teams button across personal peripheral devices without having to manually select a specific device in the Teams devices settings. This provides a more seamless experience navigating across multiple certified for Microsoft Teams personal peripheral USB devices (with a wire or a dongle) connected to the same host device (such as your laptop). For example, you can use the Teams button on headset A to bring up the meeting pre-join screen, then use the Teams button on headset B to join the meeting, and then use the Teams button on your connected speakerphone to raise hand in the meeting, and so on.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 485714.

Microsoft Teams Premium: New Speaker Attribution setting for BYOD in CsTeamsAIPolicy (enabled ON by default)

NOTE: If you are a Microsoft Teams customer (not a Microsoft Teams Premium customer), we are sending this message to you because this new setting will take effect automatically for any user assigned a Microsoft Teams Premium or Microsoft 365 Copilot license, even if your organization previously didn’t have these licenses. Therefore, we recommend all organizations review this message, regardless of your organization’s current license status.

Coming soon: We will add a new Microsoft PowerShell policy setting called SpeakerAttributionBYOD to csTeamsAIPolicy for Microsoft Teams Premium users. This setting gives IT admins more control over speaker attribution in BYOD (bring your own device) scenarios. NOTE: This setting will be enabled by default when the feature rolls out.
